Hi Alwin,

bond0 is on two Cisco 4948 switches and bond1 is on two Cisco N3K-3064PQ
switches. They worked fine for about two months in this setup. But last
week (after I started to have these issues) I powered down one Cisco 4948
and one N3K-3064PQ switch (in both cases the designated backup switches
were powered down). This is to make sure all servers use the same switch as
their active link. After that I stopped the Proxmox cluster (all nodes) and
started them again, but the issue occurred again.

I've just added the 'bond_primary ethX' option to the interfaces file. I'll
reboot everything once again and see if it helps.

syslog: http://pastebin.com/MsuCcNx8
dmesg: http://pastebin.com/xUPMKDJR
pveproxy (I can only see access.log for pveproxy, so this is the service
status): http://pastebin.com/gPPb4F3x

What other logs should I be reading?

Thanks
